About The AF Revalidation Tool

The tool provides an online learning environment and comprehensive guidance to generating portfolio material in preparation for GP revalidation.

The site content

The majority of the content of this site is a Learning module composed of a video lecture and multiple choice questions. “The Aspirin Myth” is the name of the lecture and it has been divided in to seven easy-to-view video clips, each just a few minutes long. The lecture explores a principal reason for the under-treatment of AF patients at risk of stroke.

The site will automatically record your progress through the Learning module (and the rest of the site) recording your test scores, your reflective comments and anything that you wish to upload to complement the existing material.

Several sections, such as the video clips will automatically show up as completed when you’ve viewed them. Other content allows you to select manually that a task is complete. For example, if you have registered with PRIMIS or run a GRASP-AF audit, you’ll be able to check the box on the relevant page to document your progress.

The main menu that drops down from ‘My Progress’ will also tick off all the sections that are completed allowing you to see at a glance where you are and what to tackle next.

Assisting with revalidation

The Learning section is one four (including the Introduction) that when completed will provide you with relevant and comprehensive revalidation portfolio content charting your path to practice improvement in the management of AF. The structure and the content of the site correspond directly to what have been defined as necessary steps when demonstrating practice improvement with revalidation portfolio content. The sections are:
